When Dentures Come in Handy

As mentioned above, dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or even all of their teeth due to factors such as age, decay, injury, or periodontal disease. Ideal candidates for dentures are those who are missing a significant portion of their smile and are seeking a cost-effective, non-surgical way to restore teeth in terms of natural appearance and function. 

Dentures provide the necessary support for facial muscles, which helps maintain the structure of the face and prevents the sagging that can occur with tooth loss. They are also suitable for people who may not be candidates for dental implants due to insufficient bone density or other health issues. Additionally, dentures can greatly improve the ability to chew and speak, enhancing the overall quality of life.

Denture Options to Choose From

There are several types of dentures available, each tailored to meet different needs and preferences. Those include:

  1. Full Dentures: These are used when all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both, need to be replaced. Full dentures rest directly on the gums and are held in place by natural suction or denture adhesives.
  2. Partial Dentures: Ideal for individuals missing some teeth but still having several healthy teeth remaining. Partial dentures are attached to the natural teeth using clasps or precision attachments, ensuring stability and preventing the remaining teeth from shifting.
  3. Immediate Dentures: These are placed in the mouth immediately after the removal of the natural teeth. Immediate dentures allow the patient to have teeth during the healing period, though they may require adjustments as the gums and bone heal and shrink.
  4. Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are anchored by dental implants, providing superior stability and comfort. They are an excellent option for individuals looking for a more permanent solution with better retention and chewing efficiency.
